1987 Suzuki 0.7L Petrol · E547 KEU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 18,996 miles. This result follows a consistent history of passes without any recorded defects or advisories. The data suggests the vehicle has been kept in a condition that avoids the typical mechanical degradation or failures seen in cars of this era. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 39-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 487 miles per year. Between October 2018 and December 2025, the car covered only 7 miles, indicating long periods of storage or very sporadic use. The ten-year gap between the 2008 and 2018 tests shows a similar trend, with only 12 miles recorded. While this low mileage minimizes wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the significant intervals between tests suggest the vehicle is vulnerable to issues caused by lack of regular operation. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of components affected by long-term sitting rather than mileage-related wear. Rubber elements such as brake hoses, suspension bushes, and tyre sidew are likely to perish or crack regardless of the low mileage. Structural integrity should be checked thoroughly for corrosion in the sills and floor pans, as stationary vehicles often suffer moisture traps. The braking system should also be tested for seized calipers or fluid degradation, which are common failure points for vehicles that remain immobile for years at a time.
